In the meantime Kline, the vice-commodore and committee members planned to be at the site tonight to see how it fared. He said the committee was now examining how quickly the building could be lifted and moved back from the freshly-eroded site. But after today’s earlier high tide that further washed away the coastline just metres from the clubhouse Kline said it was now a waiting game to see if the building could withstand any more erosion from tonight’s high tide in four hours’ time.

The building consent issued by the Thames Coromandel District Council to the Mercury Bay Boating Club in 1994 includes a statement about council notifying the club of the dangers to the building from foreshore erosion. Moving the building was considered as another option, but at the time that too would be costly and the club didn’t have the funds. Without a rock wall, the club's beachfront remained exposed.

The deep root system of the trees is what keeps the bank together.
